Sand: sand your furniture and get all of the glossy finish off so that the paint will have a good surface to "grab" onto.

Prime: After your furniture is dry and dust-free, paint on some primer. This helps your paint adhere to the piece better and it also covers any stains or discolorations in the wood.

Sand Again: This helps you attain a much more professional and even finish. Be sure to remove the sanding dust each time

Paint: The glossier the finish, the easier to clean. Paint thin coats, and I will repeat: sand between each coat! This step is very important if you want to achieve an even finish. I normally paint 2-3 coats total.
